Hello everyone!  Thank you for accepting my request to join CCAS.  I was born during the 1960's a turbulent time in the world.  My parents made sure that I was hearing about Jesus Christ and his desire to give me new life through his blood even before I was born.  I was eight years old when I finally accepted Christ as my savior.  We were traveling to my grandmother's house for Thanksgiving.  My father and mother often asked us if we had accepted Christ as our Savior.  I said I was not sure so Dad stopped the car (under normal circumstances that would have been a bad thing LOL!)  I prayed and confessed that I wanted Christ to save me from my sins.  We all cried for a bit then I got the privilege of telling my dear Grandmother that I accepted Christ as my savior.  That was truly a Thanksgiving.  As all humans that walk this earth I faced challenges growing up.  The biggest of which seemed to be my learning disability.  I was Dyslexic before that was a well known learning issue.  I was pretty tough and carried a large chip on my shoulder.  Very few people had the nerve to call me on it because I did not handle criticism very well.  Though I think there were a lot of factors that went into that problem in my life, It was not until I was an adult until I finally gave that over to the Lord and let him start to break up that wall I had built around my life.  Its been a long process.  Music, poetry, reading, broken relationships, illness, injury and spending time on the "backside of the desert" have been his tools.  My husband and I have been married 24 years, I have had the privilege of homeschooling my son Ian and my daughter Tamra.  Art, music, and reading were some of the hallmarks of our homeschool program.  Now I have both an artist and writer :)  I have my own business while my husband, a retired Sergeant First Class, works in the public school system.  I keep busy and that keeps me out of trouble ;)  "Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above." (Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing)
